Sounds like he will be a Pie for life based on what he says about the club in this article.

Interesting article & timing if Lynch hasn't made up his mind yet.

Check the Lynch thread.

Just saw it, not fussed either way. Like a lot of us here I more wanted him for Tiger melts.

Might need to file a Missing Person Report as he not at Optus Stadium Tonight

 

[Rorzza]

WHE, went missing in the first half but bounced back in the second. He is vital to team success. Needs to play four quarters of football, such an impact player.

Wasn’t our worst. Did some nice things. If he didn’t hit the post twice it would be a different story.

Yes he did come back into game in 2nd Half

Missing since Queen’s Birthday

Nice second half. If those posters went through, we would have won. Jeez his first half was soft and awful though.

 

[TheSierBear]

Found some form in the second half, the optimist in me says he will continue that on against GWS; due for a big game.

In process of signing new extension.

Where does WHE fit with Elliot, De Goey, Stepho, Thomas, Mihocek? A wing?? I doubt he’d have the tank.
(A nice problem to have, of course, but...)

Push out Thomas I reckon.

Forward.
His unique pure skill, plays and looks taller than he is so to speak.
Just has this skill where he can one hand pluck the ball.
Kicks well.
And would have to be minded very carefully.
You’d push out Thomas before him, or keep all of them and say Varcoe misses.

Wonderful problem.

 

[MarkT2]

I feel like he has to be in. I also feel like Mayne should make way for him but it's hard to argue with his possessions and effort. I just prefer WHE's ball use and goal kicking. Mayne seems too worried about being caught with the ball.

Injuries will open spots soon enough. Adams is first in line to come in with everyone being fit. WHE will/should have to fight through the VFL for a game where he wil be up against a couple of youngsters trying to forge a career in Brown & Daicos.

May the best man win.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Varcoe can make way for him.

I reckon he might have to play VFL until an opportunity opens, now that Elliot is back.

In time (maybe a month) from last nights side I reckon three changes would get us to our (debateable) best available 22.

In Adams Sier WHE
Out Varcoe Aish Thomas

Of that only Adams for Varcoe is a no brainer the other two are line ball.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Varcoe can make way for him.

Varcoe can’t make way for everybody!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Varcoe can’t make way for everybody!

Well not with that attitude...

 

[September Action]

I like Thomas and think he is underrated.

Also Varcoe adds mongrel.

WHE adds silk - but this might be the impetus for him to start impacting games more frequently.

I see Sier as the Pendle-in waiting. Needs game time too.

I’d hate to be selection committee. Or finance dept. for that matter...

Still 5 weeks away. Does he contract expire this year?

The club made a big song and dance about the fact he extended during the pre-season. He was out of contract next year originally anyway?
